Ubigraph - Perl client of Ubigraph software

    use Ubigraph;

    my $u = new Ubigraph();

    my $v1 = $u->Vertex();
    my $v2 = $u->Vertex(shape=>"sphere");

    my $e1 = $u->Edge($v1, $v2);

    $v1->shape("torus");
    $v1->size(3.5);

    sleep(2);

    $u->clear();

    my @v;
    for (0..100){
        $v[$_] = $u->Vertex();
    }

    for (0..100){
        $u->Edge($v[int(rand(100))], $v[int(rand(100))]);
        select(undef, undef, undef, 0.05);
    }

Ubigraph is a Perl client interface for the UbiGraph software (http://ubietylab.net/ubigraph/) with object-oriented abstraction over the XML-RPC calls. UbiGraph is a client-server software for 3D visualization and layout of graph-theoretical network diagrams. This module hides the XML-RPC calls and allows visualization through object-oriented access to Vertex and Edge objects, similar to Python and Ruby APIs.

None by default.

$u = new Ubigraph()

$u = new Ubigraph($url)

The constructor of Ubigraph class starts the XML::RPC binding to Ubigraph server. Default url to bind is 'http://127.0.0.1:20738/RPC2'.

$u->clear()

This method clears all entities.

$vertex = $u->Vertex()

$vertex = $u->newVertex()

$vertex = $u->Vertex(%parameters)

$vertex = $u->newVertex(%parameters)

These class methods create a vertex (Ubigraph::Vertex instance), optionally with hash of parameters.

$edge = $u->Edge($v1, $v2)

$edge = $u->newEdge($v1, $v2)

$edge = $u->Edge($v1, $v2, %parameters)

$edge = $u->newEdge($v1, $v2, %parameters)

These class methods create an edge (Ubigraph::Edge instance), optionally with hash of parameters.

The following method removes the vertex.

$vertex->remove()

The following methods change the corresponding vertex parameters.

$vertex->color($color)

$vertex->shape($shape)

$vertex->shapedetail($shapedetail)

$vertex->label($label)

$vertex->size($size)

$vertex->fontcolor($fontcolor)

$vertex->fontfamily($fontfamily)

$vertex->fontsize($fontsize)

$vertex->callback_left_doubleclick($url)

The following method removes the edge.

$edge->remove()

The following methods change the corresponding edge parameters.

$edge->arrow($arrow)

$edge->arrow_position($arrow_position)

$edge->arrow_radius($arrow_radius)

$edge->arrow_length($arrow_length)

$edge->arrow_reverse($arrow_reverse)

$edge->color($color)

$edge->label($label)

$edge->fontcolor($fontcolor)

$edge->fontfamily($fontfamily)

$edge->fontsize($fontsize)

$edge->oriented($oriented)

$edge->spline($spline)

$edge->showstrain($showstrain)

$edge->stroke($stroke)

$edge->strength($strength)

$edge->visible($visible)

$edge->width($width)

For the details of the parameters, users should refer to the UbiGraph XML-RPC Manual (http://ubietylab.net/ubigraph/content/Docs/index.html).
